Pocklington Pedal Challenge Ride 30th April - can anyone help?

I am the organisers of the Pocklington Pedal Challenge Ride, I work for British Cycling in the North East of England, live in Stamford Bridge and am a member of Clifton Cycling Club which is one of the biggest cycling clubs in Yorkshire.
The event will take place on Saturday the 30th April starting & finishing at Woldgate College, there is a choice of 3 routes which weave around the Wolds the longest distance is 100 miles then 60 miles and a very short family ride.

In the first instance we want to make sure everyone in the area knows about the event we currently have 100 entries and hope this will double in the next few weeks. If you can help spread the word that would be most appreciated.

Secondly we are looking for support in delivering the event, if you have any members who could provide refreshments at the school, or food to stock the feed stations that would be fantatic, we will be buying suppliers and would prefer to use local businesses if possible.

Our shopping list consists of;

100 + bananas

100 + flapjacks or similar

100-200 litres of water

Feed stations on route (village halls, schools, pub car parks etc) anywhere we can get to a toilet/water supply and shelter for our helpers if it rains, likely places are FEED1 Kirby Grindalythe, Duggleby, Settringham, North Grimston, FEED 2 Sand Hutton/Stamford Bridge

Correx Event Signage

Outside catering at Woldgate, hot meal/hot sandwhich for each rider

Any other support or ideas would be welcome.

We would also like to get as many local people riding the event as possible some entries from works teams, sports teams, or just a gang of mates, any suggestions on how this could be achieved would be greatly appreciated, we may also be able to offer some discount packages to suppliers or supporters. If you could help distribute event flyers we have 100 set aside.

1st Friday Networking event update for Malton, book your place

It’s that time of the month for the reminder for the next Malton Networking meeting. We had a great talk last month from Paul Hampson on change and how it can affect businesses and the people that work in them. This month we have a talk from Mark Bates of Whitewall. Mark is an expert on customer service and how excellent service can improve the performance of your business, definitely worthwhile coming along to as it will give you an edge in this competitive climate.

The next networking event will be held again at The Old Lodge, Old Maltongate, Malton, YO17 7EG on Friday 5th March 2010 between 12 noon – 2pm. As before it will be a chance for everyone to get to know each other and generally network. Remember your business cards!! Also this month we are going to be upstairs in the board room.

The only cost for this meeting will be £10 per person and I will collect the money on arrival, this is a contribution for the rent of the room and the food. Please let me know if you are coming and bringing other people, so that I can arrange numbers for the tea, coffee and food.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me on 01653 692292 or if you would like to come simply reply to this email before Thursday 4th March 2010, so that I can arrange numbers with The Old Lodge. If you know of anyone else who might be interested please feel free to ask them, but do let me know for numbers.

I look forward to seeing you at the networking meeting.

"We write to inform you that due to circumstances beyond our control the meeting of the Pocklington Network that was due to be held on Tuesday 8th September has been postponed . It has now been rearranged to take place at the KP Golf Club at 7,30 am on Tuesday 22nd September.

First Friday in Malton - Golf Day

The date will be Friday 4th September and will start at 230pm straight after the 1st Friday Club meeting at the Old Lodge.

The venue is Malton & Norton Golf Club and we will be playing 18 holes. Unfortunately the golf club can’t accommodate us for food that day, but we are welcome to use the 19th hole for drinks, a suggestion was to retire to a local curry house if people would like something to eat. Your views and interest on this are welcome.

The cost is £30 per head, obviously if you are members you will not have to pay, which is payable on the day. If it would be easier for people you can make a cheque payable to “1st Friday Club” and I’ll write a cheque out for the full amount on the day. It might be easier for people to put it through your books and or expenses.

Those who are interested please let me know by Monday 31st August if you are coming for definite and also let me know about a curry afterwards and if you want to pay the 1st Friday Club. If you do please send the cheques to me at The Brambles, Middle Street, Swinton, Malton, YO17 6SR.

First Friday in Malton - Golf Day

Chris Davies our very good friend who organises the Firts Friday Networking event would like to invite you to their golf day, details below:-
Morning all Golfers

If you are not interested in the Golf day please ignore this email, however if you have had a change of heart please let me know which of the following dates you can do.

Right then I have applied an extremely scientific approach to this and come up with the following options.

July – forget about it too many holidays for all you lucky people.

August – again forget about it too many holidays going on.

So that leaves a small window in September before people take more holidays. We have available Thursday 3rd September, Friday 4th September (which is the date of the normal meeting so we might be able to pull that one together) or Monday 7th September.

Please let me know by Friday 31st July which days you would be interested in and I can then finalise the day and get it booked with Ian’s help.

Kind Regards,
Chris Davies
